His Hat Fits More Easily Now.

= There is a mine in this camp where the
shift boss has a case OF swelled head owing
to the sudden promotion he received taking
him off his base. He rose from the ranks,
but has forgotten the circumstance entire.
ly and treats his men al though a great
and impossible chasm were between them
and him socially and every other way. Now
this is a peculiar trait in some natures. The
possessors are really capable men, good
administrative officers and earnest in the
effort to attend to their duties thoroughly
and, indeed, competent men when it comes
down to their ability; but they cannot
stand prosperity-that is, a little notice or
promotion or recognition of their good
points just upsets their ~equanimity the
same as a dose of brandy would a child.
That was what was the trouble with this
shift boss-until a few days ago. The he
experienced q "change OF heart" and
this is how it came about. The men under
him at first tried Joking about him in his
hearing, but it was no use. He was too
much swallowed up by his own Importance
some of them resolved to proceed to ex-
IRENE measures to remind him he was sub
ject to the same ailments as the rest of
mankind. His dinner bucket stood on a
stove one day, warming his midday meal
within. In some mysterious way q drop
or two OF croton oil was gently inserted in
his tea. Unsuspectingly the man OF a
proud stomach surrounded the contents of
that dinnef bucket, but sad and unavailing
we're the protests Of that proud stomach
against the unwelcome addition the tea
contained. All pride vanished in the man
like snow off q dixie under the summer sun.
He was as other men. He lay and groaned
as one whose last hour had come. He
sent for a doctor and a priest. The doc
tor examined the remnants OF the dinner
bucket. There was enough tea remaining
for him to detect the addition that had
mysteriously been made to the cup thst
cheers. The shift boss was assured that
he was as sound a man as any in the camp,
but that. being mortal, croton oil had the
same h%umiliating effect on him as it would
on m poor devil of a miner. That was
enough for the mine boss. 1t set him
thinking. He thought he would try and
get along without that shift that had
played the practical joke on him. But he
will be a little less bumptiOus in future. In
effecting reforms some ore has to be sacri-
feed for the good OF the community.

at the Grand Opera House

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. s. Knight presented
Rudolph, Baron Won Hollenstein," to a
most appreciative audience at the Grand
last evening. 1t has been said that this is
Mr.. Knights strongest play, and now that
we have seen him in a variety of characters
do not hesitate to endorse the assertion.
It is not only his strongest character, but
| one that is a master work of art. The
play opens in the Baron's New York home.
where he is surrounded by wife and friends.
| One Whitworth Lawrence, presumably a
friend, is infatuated with the Baroness,
and draws the unsuspecting Baron into
speculation and ruin to obtain, if possible,
| their separation. This first act was one
of the prettiest scenes ever placed on the
Butte stage, and Mr.. Knight, as the happy
and light-hearted Baron, is true to life.
The second act finds him in great poverty.
An interval of one year is supposed to
have elapsed and a baby is sent to cheer
the desolate home. Rudolph takes
money which his wife has saved to
buy medicine for the child, who is
sick, in order to get to a
distant friend for money enough to keep
the wife and child rom starvation. The
wife, who is out, returns and finds the
money gone. She imagines he has stolen it
for drink, SO she takes the child and leaves
Rudolph, who returns with the money and
fnds her gone. Overcome by sorrow and
misfortune, he turns wanderer. After an
interval of sixteen years he turns up quite
Unexpectedly in the third act as a tramp.
Mr.. Knights make up and acting at this
point are simply wonderful. The tattered
clothes and husky voice give a strange con-
trast to the digniied and gentlemanly bear
ing that now and then asserts itself and
the character is truly a companion picture
to J%efferson's rip after his mountain
sleep. The meeting between RUBY" and
his daughter (the child who has grown to
womanhood) is very pathetic and shows
him to be an actor of great emotional
power. Having stumbled by accident on
his wife and child. the memory of happy
days is awakened and he resolves
to become once more an
honored and respected gentleman for
their sake. Hence he returns to Germany
to claim a fortune to which he is entitled
by the death OF an uncle. Lawrence in the
meantime has succeeded in making the
Baroness believe that Rudy is dead, and
with that belief has gained her consent to
marriage. However he becomes involved in
trouble with his employees and is killed
during a strike. Rudolph, hearing OF his
death, returns in the fourth act and a hap
py reunion takes place.
Rudolph" will be given for the last time
this afternoon, and the opportunity
to see such a beautiful play should not be
lost.
Mr.. and Mrs. Knight close their engage
ment here tomorrow night with the scream

EASTER DAY.
Some Account of Its Origin and Oh.
serVances-When Easter Comes
RELIGIOUS Services.

| AsCAAS lVuC 0CA sAOOCe
From an authority on this subject we
condense the following account OF hegreat.
est feast day among Christian churches:
The festival OF Resurrection of Jesus Christ
probably derives it's Teutonic name from
the festival of the goddess Ostare, in Anglo
Saxon Eastre, which the Saxons OF old
were wont to celebrate about the same
season at which the Christian festival of
Easter occurs. In the ancient church the
celebration of Easter lasted eight days.
After the eleventh century, however, it
was limited to three and, in latter days,
generally to two days. It wa formerly
the ~favorite time for performing the rite of
baptism. Courts of justice were closed;
aims distributed; slaves received their free
over the people gave themselves up to en-
joyment. The people ealuted each other
with a kiss, and the chief solemnity OF the
day always consisted OF the celebration of
the Lords Supper. In the Greek church in
Russia the salute is still practiced NTH the
remark, ''The Lord is risen" to which the
reply is made. He is risen indeed"
The most characteristic Easter rite and
the one most widely diffused is the use of
Pasch eggs. They are usually stained OF
various colors with dye-woods or herbs.
In some moorland parts of Scotland it
used to be the custom for young people to
go out early "Pasch Sunday" and search
for wild fowls eggs for breakfast, and it
was thought lucky to find them. There
can be little doubt that the use of eggs at
this season was originally symbolical of
the revivifcat ton of nature--the springing
of life in the spring. The
practice is not confined to Chris
tians; the Jews used eggs in the feast
of the Passover; and we are told that the
Persians, when they keep the festival Of the
solar New Year in March, mutually pre-
sent each other with colored eggs.
The time of Easter being the mos an
and important of all the movable
of the Christian Church determines
the rest. Easter Is always the first
Sunday after the paschal full moon, that
is, the full moon which happens upon or
next after tho twenty-frst of March (the
beginning of the ecclesiastical new YEAR,;
and if the full moon happens on a Sunday,
Easter Day is the Sunday after.

were resumed, Mr.. w. f. Sanders resuming

and Fletcher Franklin, near Roger.
One man, Mr.. D. Mullins, was shot
dead in the melee, and they again
escaped. The sheriff of Knox county
with band of we'll armed men en-
deavored to take in the gentlemen
after some of their depredations in
that county, but arrest was so des-
perately resisted that the sheriff and
his men seemed satisfied to retreat
with life, and they again made good
their departure. They have been
terror to this country for years, and
the news of their speedy capture and
the hasty justice likely to be dealt
out to them is regarded as just and
legitimate finale to their lawless and
criminal career. Now the county is
startled by more of their crimes.
They stole some horses in Holt
county and took refuge in their rem
devious. Here they were armed and
the officers met a warm reception,
and their deadly aim and hellish
deeds eliminated in killing Mr.. De-
laney, the deputy sheriff of Holt
county last week. They were pursued
to Craig, Mo-, in the north part of
the county, on the Kansas City, St.
Joe and Council Bluffs railroad, and
another man was mortally wounded.
Yesterdays papers say they are sur
rounded in a woods in Iowa, sixteen
miles from Nebraska City, and a
large body are determined on their
capture. People here are anxiously
awaiting to-morrow's papers, hoping
that there has been no further blood
shed; that they have been captured,
and that their captors will leave them
in that woods when taken.

fire, and in an hour the beautiful
church was in ruins. the Sunday
